Landlords or Tenants: Who is Responsible for Pest Management?
Understanding who is responsible for pest control in a rental property isn’t always straightforward.
Landlords will typically be responsible for calling a pest control company if:
- The tenancy agreement says they are responsible or mentions in some form that it is the responsibility of the landlord to keep the property in good condition.
- The infestation was caused by the landlord not making certain repairs, for example not fixing holes in the walls or floors.
- The infestation is making it so the property is unsafe to live in, for instance, if it’s making residents unwell.
Tenants may be responsible for dealing with pest infestations themselves if:
- The infestation was caused by something they did or failed to do, such as not disposing of rubbish correctly leading to rats being attracted to the property.
To learn more about this, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau has a guide on their website.
